33 Apocalypse Ave, Wednesday Morning

[spin_kick_snap]

By the kindness of fate--or perhaps the influence of Fandom--Kathy had treated herself to a long bath and a book the night before, ending up falling asleep in her own room mere pages from the end up the book. This bit of unexpected luck allowed the Kathy that woke up the following morning to have at least a little while before she was unexpectedly traumatized. At thirteen and still several years before attending Fandom or developing superpowers, this Kathy was a little less trained to roll with the punches.

But for now, she got washed up and dressed, then headed downstairs to make herself a bowl of cereal and some toast before figuring out what to do with the day.

And wow. That was a lot of booze and leftover pizza to shove into one fridge. Huh.

[Open!]

"Aroo?" Raven asked. Wolves were fun, but trying to make their mouths the right shape for human words was a pain in the ass. She stepped back, shifting back into human form, albeit this time wearing pajamas. "Why not? You have a reputation as a liar back home?"

"What?" Kathy yelped, wide-eyed. "Oh gosh no! I always try to be as honest as possible! Honest!"

Raven had to chuckle at that. Because of course she did. "Then why shouldn't they believe you?"

"Because you're a superhero," Kathy breathed, eyes wide. Everyone with powers was a superhero. Obviously. Because what else would you do? "And I'm just--me. Kathy. Nobody special or important."

Awful of matter of fact about that, kid.

"Actually, I run a glorified video arcade." Raven sat down next to her. "I don't think I'm actually cut out for being a hero."

"Oh! Oh right!" Duh Kathy! Secret identity! "Sprry! Umm, I mean, not just anybody can be a hero. You need to be someone special."

It wasn't quite a nudge nudge wink, but it was close.

"Well. I'm not going to argue with that, anyway." She nudged Kathy with her arm. "Do you ever think about being a hero?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"I mean..." Kathy blushed furiously. "It's silly. Like I said, you gotta be special to be a hero."
